6 RNG: Texan In Another World - V1.6 - First Harves (2/2)
Mike reached out and touched the tree. With a clear and visible trail, the plant was cryogenically frozen. Mike heaved a sigh of relief and grabbed a mirror.
Placing the mirror under the tree he gave it a light flick like a tiny bell. The whole plant shook from the minor vibration and tiny particles landed on the mirror. Mike put the mirror away and grabbed a very large piece of glass. They didn't have anything else, and it would at least be on a clean surface.
Mike had the girls all focus on the deconstruction magic, the separation magic, and to work together. Casting the separation magic himself turned out pretty easy, and slowly all the resin heads were moved followed by the milking of the flowers for oil. What was left made Mike extremely happy.
Mike took out a honeycomb he had a carpenter make and dipped it directly into the batch. They had taken a 4 square meter plant and turned it into nearly 5 gallons of extract. There was still another plant. Mike dipped his finger in the falling cannabinoids and brushed his teeth with it.
”My friends back home would lose their minds at this.” Mike was happy with the turnout, but Ultimately it barely used any of the equipment that was brought up for the lab. Mike had other projects, so it was understandable that they didn't all get used during the harvest. What happened next would be the earmark for success, or failure.
Time to go check on the plant by the Magistrate. Mike had left the duties to care for the plant with Prince Troeg. Although the prince wasn't interested in doing the work himself, he was rather fascinated in the gardening methods that Mike had presented. The methods were, if nothing else, unorthodox.
Upon arrival they could smell the stickiness of the plant. It was much larger than the ones that shared a pot. It was larger in part because it had spent so much time by itself and without competition. The plant grew just like a Christmas tree pine, At nearly five meters it was the tallest plant Mike had ever seen in person. He had grown a few plants that were 15 feet tall... but they were incredibly frail. The plant before them was anything but.
'I think we're going to need a bigger room.' Mike was staring at the plant when it occurred to him that it was much larger.
”We have to do it here.” There wasn't much choice, Mike couldn't hold it up inside the Lab, the ceiling was just too low. Even if they stored it in the spacial ring and then opened the roof there would be no place to hang it from. Mike didn't have a levitate spell, when he hung the other plant from the ceiling in the lab he had an apparatus that held it in place.
Mike looked at the magistrate office and then at the plant, then back at the magistrates office again. They were roughly the same size.
”Get a pole and some rope.” Mike tied one end of the stick to the rope and another to the plant and bound them pretty tight. Using the excess rope, he sired-up the joint between them.
After Mike was sure he had attached it the way he wanted, he had the girls hold the upper half while he hacked off the trunk below the rope.
When it was freed from the stump, Mike quickly put it into storage and made his way to the roof with a bunch of guards who were watching him work.
”Welcome to vollentold. I need you to stand here at the edge of the building and grab onto the pole. The pole needs to stay up in the air like so” gesturing to show a high angle, Mike instructed them how to hold it.
Mike was prepared to do work, but he felt ridiculous doing this to some degree. pulling the plant from storage near the edge of the roof-line, it was in the same orientation as before and was about to fall. Mike handed to pole to the guards and all ten of them held tightly. The plant gently swayed in the wind for a moment before it spun around and came to a hanging rest.
Going downstairs was a lot easier than going up, Mike made it to the base of the building and saw the giant Cannabis pinata dangling off the side of the building.
Mike pulled another deep glass tray container out, and placed it on the ground. He went through the same process. He cryogenically froze the tree over the course of a minute, locking in all of its potential. Then, he pulled out a mirror from his storage; flicked the plant and stored it.
Rissa was curious about what he was doing with mirrors, he collected something that came off the plant and quickly put it away once the resonating vibration stopped. It was already hard for the guards to keep the plant upright and not banging against the buildings and so they all surrounded the next plant for the extraction process.
Rissa thought about the mirror again and guess it that must be the good stuff. She wasn't wrong, its value was high.. sky high.
Mike had gone above and beyond what he expected, with the deconstruction of the plant, another long stream of golden ooze poured into one long barrel like glass container after another. In all they had filled up 4 Five gallon Jars. When Mike did the math in his head from a single plant, none of it added up.
Mike had planted the seed, poured his drink on it and left it alone. It only got water in the morning, so what happened. The plant was 5 meters tall!
Mike didn't have a scale, he wasn't even sure one had been invented but the volume was unprecedented.
”Mike taste this one” Jodi came up with a spoon and tried to feed it to Mike.
He almost acted on instinct to pull away, but the girls had really warmed up to him and kept trying to get on his good side. He needed to reciprocate.
Chewing on the paste in his mouth he was unable to speak for a moment. She had just fed him a heroic dose of dabs, but he couldn't complain. He wanted to go to bed already, the energy he used to extract was most of what he had available.
'I can't believe I just ate a huge lump of extract, what was she thinking.. a spoonful' Mike gagged a bit as the big ass lump made its way down to his stomach.
”Come on, lets deliver this to Prince Troeg before I pass out.” Mike was already having problems focusing on what was in front of him, he had over exerted himself a bit but it wasn't anything serious.
The girls were concerned with Mike's condition so Mona ran off to deliver three of the four containers to Prince Troeg. He didn't need all of it, so she felt justified to save some for themselves.
”Lets get him to bed.” Jodi and Cara sat down with Mike as they entered the house. Rissa and March drew the sheets and laid him down. He was fast asleep, and the girls were crawling all over him in carnal fascination.
”Hey, Mona is the Boss... at least wait till she gets back” The girls started to argue quietly among themselves with Mike unaware, and completely in the middle.
Stopping what they were doing after Mike tossed around in the bed for a moment, all the girls giggled and laid down beside him. Mona hadn't returned, but that didn't stop them from enjoying the moment.
